Dhaka – Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina bemoaned on Sunday that the Gulshan terror attack has dented the country’s prestigious position at the global stage earned through facing militancy, terrorism and gearing up development activities.

Sheikh Hasina came up with the remarks at a press conference at her official residence Ganobhaban on her Mongolia tour.

“The children of rich families are indulging in terrorism with a lust for having Hur-Pori hereafter,” she noted.
